A bullion coin is a coin purchased for investment, not circulation. Bullion coins
are available in various weights and their precious metal content value will often exceed the face
value of the coin. The U.S. Mint produces two type of bullion coins: Uncirculated and Proof
Coins.

Uncirculated Coins:

Uncirculated coins are coins that have yet to enter
the commerce stream. All coins start out this way after they are minted, but some coins
will remain uncirculated. To be an authentic uncirculated coin it must be certified. It
can only be certified if has its original sheen/luster - which it won't if it has
been in circulation. There also must be no signs of wear on the coin. If an uncirculated
coin does show any signs of wear it may have physically contacted other coins
at mint or when the coins were transported from the mint. Don't fear: experts will be
able to tell the difference between these marks and marks from circulation. Sell

Proof Coins:

Proof coins are also uncirculated coins. They are rare and
can often be expensive. These coins are made only for the collector's market or
purchased for display purposes. In mint, proof coins are struck twice to bring out the
full details of the coin design. The back of a proof coin is usually mirror-like. They
are considered the finest quality of coin produced by the U.S. Mint.: hand-polished and
packaged to preserve its brilliant finish. Sell your gold and silver coins today! Call to get a quote.

Numismatic Coins:

While a numismatic coin can be considered a bullion coin,
investors who purchase numismatic coins often pay a pretty penny, as their value can be many
times the value of the actual precious metal content. Numismatic coins are essentially rare
or valuable coins that have external value. They can be more valuable because of their
historical
significance, they can be one of a kind, have special marks or be minted in an abnormal way, and
therefore collectible items. Sell your gold and silver coins today! Call to get a quote.

Commemorative Coins:

Another coin not intended for general circulation. These
coins are U.S. Mint products created to commemorate important aspects in American history, and
help raise money to preserve history, such a build new museums, maintain national monuments,
preserve historical sites and support various Olympic programs. These coins are sought after
since there is a limited quantity and they are only available for a limited amount of time. Sell

How Do You Know If Your Coin Is Authentic?

The more popular the coin, the more likely it is that there are counterfeits and replicas of it.
It
was once thought that coins under $100 were too much work and money to replicate; however, coin
collectors are now finding that Asia and elsewhere are creating fakes of all coins and
denominations. So
how do you tell if your coin is real?

Replicas: Replica coins are usually reproductions of famous coins or
historical
events. You can often find them at souvenir shops, and marketing firms may distribute them as
tchotchkes. An easy way to tell if your coin is a replica is by examining the seam that runs
around the coin
where the two halves of the casting mold come together: they also generally have less detail
than
a real coin. Unfortunately, replicas are virtually worthless, so before you make the
investment,
make sure you examine the piece carefully.

Counterfeits: Unlike replicas, counterfeits are put out into circulation to
"trick"
the public. Counterfeits are usually made of a worthless base metal, and can be easily detected
if you know
what
to look for. Under close examination, counterfeit coins can have bubbles or pimples in the
casting
that can be seen under a magnifying glass. The engravings also won't match those of genuine
mint. As
coin collecting has gain more popularity, so have counterfeits. Forged gold coins are most
commonly gold dollar and three-dollar gold
pieces, or coins dated between 1870-1933. You may also find 1799 ten-dollar gold pieces, as well
as 1811 five dollar coins. For
silver,
the most common forged coins are the 1084 Lafayette dollars, some commemorative half dollars,
and
the 1795 half dimes.

To confirm your coin isn't a counterfeit, compare your coins with others of the same kind.
Confirm it's the same size, color, luster, weight, and has the same design details.

Alterations: Alterations to coins are usually done to deceive collectors. The
coin
may be altered by the addition, removal or change to the design of the coin, or the coin's
finish could be altered by polishing, sandblasting, acid-etching, toning or plating of a genuine
piece. The most common alterations are by changing mintmarks and dates.

To confirm your coin hasn't been altered, it's best to compare it to like coins under a
10x-40x
magnifying glass as well as have an expert like, Sell Your Gold examine it for you.

Overall, coins that are rare or high in value should always come with a guarantee of authenticity
done by a professional, and should be one of the first things you ask for before purchasing a
coin.

Grading and Authenticating Coins

Grading and authenticating coins is done to increase the buyer's and seller's comfort levels when
dealing with high value and rare coins in the market. These third-party grading companies provide a
service for a fee, but are impartial and independent from the buyer and seller within a transaction.

At Sell Your Gold we take all graded coins! Call us today at (888)
465-3860 to discuss the details
of the coins you are selling.

ANACS: The First Coin Grading Service

Grading services started back in the 1970's with the ANACS (American Numismatic Association
Certification Service). The goal was to uphold and protect the integrity of the coin industry. The
ANACS grader would examine a coin, determine its authenticity and give it a grade for each side of
the coin. The coin would then be returned to the sender with a certificate and picture

PCGS and NGC: Today’s Leading Experts

In 1986, the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS), which also grades coins for a fee, started
encapsulating the coins in plastic holders with its graded certificate. This is to ensure the graded
certificate and the coin are never separated. A year later the NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Corporation
of America) also started a similar service. These are now the top leading coin grading firms in the
U.S.

Subjectivity: The Human Element

Much like the diamond world, coins are graded by humans - not computers - which can often be
subjective depending on the professional grader. Coins that are graded, can have a low quality and a
high quality within the same grade level. Characteristics such as luster, color, strength, and the
strike of the coin can make one coin much more appealing than the other graded the same. Collectors
look for this and like to cherry-pick by selecting the highest quality coin for a specific
grade.

Gradefiation: Rising Standards

Over the years grading has also become stricter. Collectors have nicknamed this "gradeflation". Over
time, the standards for a specific grade have risen and coin that was graded in the early 90's may
now have a lower grade if it were graded today

Common Coin Gradings - What Do They Mean

When a coin is given a grade, it will have an abbreviation such as "MS" for A Mint State coin as well
as a numerical grade between 1 and 70. Mint State ("MS"), Uncirculated ("Unc.") and Brilliant
Uncirculated
("BU") represent coins that have no wear i.e. uncirculated, but they can still have
imperfections.

Mint State numerical grades range from MS-60 to MS-70. An MS-60 rated coin can have a poor strike,
poor luster and discoloration. This is the lowest grade in uncirculated coins and actually tends to
be an unusual grade. Uncirculated coins tend to grade from an MS-62 to a MS-64 which show moderate
deficiencies with an above-average eye appeal. Modern bullion coins and commemorative coins are
often
found in the MS-69 range. Few will be rated an MS-70, meaning a flawless coin.

If you see coins that are marked with a "PR", that stands for Proof which is not actually a grade.
Proof coins will also be graded, but include the PR with the actual grading i.e. MS/PR – 69.
Circulated coins also have grades ranging from Poor to About Uncirculated with a numeric grade from
1-58.

You should be able to make out more of the letter and the design. Rims of the coin will
still be generally worn.

You can make out the general design of the coin, but the details will be weak. The rim
of the coin will be more prominent.
